Coderre and Poëti linked in next city election
The Journal says Denis Coderre and Robert Poëti may join forces to wrest city hall back from Valérie Plante. There’s little more here about their plans, but theirs would certainly be a car‑centric vision of the city – in fact, the next election will probably be all about cars.

Good call on cars and sadly they never lose. This blog has asked this question before. What is it about our relationship to the car? It is visceral and profound , why? I am sincerely curious because I have never owned one.

Plante as mayor and Coderre as Liberal PM would be (a pipedream but also) kind of ideal for Montreal, no? He could fund the pink line since he’d get the credit for bringing it into existence even if it was Planet/PM’s idea. I suspect Coderre would do well in a provincewide election…

They are comfortable, and take you wherever you want, quickly, without physical effort.

“take you wherever you want, quickly” That hasn’t necessarily been my experience when I’ve driven in Montreal but that still doesn’t seem to stop people.
